Egypt Sherrod Promotes Her Latest Project After ‘Married to Real Estate’ Cancellation
Egypt Sherrod is shifting her focus from helping clients find their dream homes to helping women achieve their business goals.
In the wake of Married to Real Estate‘s cancellation on HGTV, Sherrod shared an empowering message promoting her nonprofit organization, 1000 Women Owned, via Instagram on Sunday, July 20.
“To the woman carrying silent dreams and loud responsibilities…We see you,” she captioned a snap of herself and her husband Mike Jackson‘s two daughters, Kendall (13) and Harper (6). Jackson welcomed his eldest daughter, Simone (23), during a previous relationship.
“To the one rebuilding herself in between work calls, nap times, school schedules and quiet tears…” she continued. “And to the one who’s been told ‘it’s too late’ or ‘you missed your chance’…They were wrong. You can never miss your own becoming. There is no deadline… No expiration on your brilliance. No cap on how far you can go. You still get to grow. You still get to choose yourself. You still get to win.”
Sherrod noted that 1000 Women Owned was built exactly for the kind of women she described. “I created a space just for you. Not to impress you, but to remind you of who you already are. Powerful. Capable. Ready,” she concluded. “Follow the movement @1000womenowned.”

Fans shared their love for Sherrod’s inspirational words in the post’s comments. “I find it so hard to balance everything sometimes. You are an inspiration,” one user wrote, while another posted, “You are speaking straight to my heart!! Honored to be a part of this!!”
Sherrod cofounded 1000 Women Owned with Elizabeth Oates earlier this year. “At the heart of our mission is a deep belief in the power of women supporting women. We’re committed to empowering and uplifting 1,000 women-owned businesses by 2030, knowing that when one woman rises, she brings others with her,” she captioned a March 9 Instagram post about the organization’s launch. “We celebrate the incredible potential of female entrepreneurship, and our goal is to help every woman grow not just in business, but in life.”
Sherrod’s latest Instagram message comes nearly one month after she announced that Married to Real Estate was canceled after four seasons. In a June 24 Instagram post, she explained that she and Johnson learned of the show’s fate upon returning home from a family vacation.
“While the chain of events leading up to this is disheartening, we are deeply grateful,” she wrote at the time. “Grateful for four incredible seasons. Grateful for our amazing crew and supportive fans. Grateful that our businesses continue to thrive. And most of all—grateful that we are still very much married to real estate (and to each other)❤️.”
Earlier this month, the show received a 2025 Daytime Emmys nomination for Outstanding Instructional/How-To Program. “We might be the first show to get nominated after we got canceled! Like, what!?” Sherrod joked in a July 9 Instagram reaction video to the awards nod.
Married to Real Estate is one of several HGTV series to have recently been canceled, including Bargain Block, Izzy Does It, Farmhouse Fixer, Battle on the Beach, Christina on the Coast, and The Flipping El Moussas.

I love this show! Her and her husband did an amazing job on those homes. And I enjoy watching the family dynamics and chemistry. Meanwhile this awesome show get cancelled, but there are still 5 million different property brothers shows on. Give me a break. It was nice to see something new!

Not true. Nothing recent. Just reruns. They are fun to watch and advertising pays for the shows that make them money.

I am so disappointed in HGTV. It was a great show. I am not happy about the other shows being canceled either. Guess I won't be watching anymore.

I agree with Ke. I quit watching Property Bros. several years ago. I liked the shows that were canceled much more than Property Bros. I do not wish them any harm, but I know longer enjoy it.

Married to Real Estate works on so many levels: the quality of Mike & Egypt’s work; their expertise; their authentic relationships; the aspirational efforts they foster; the values they espouse; their candor, humor, relatability, & humility; and their representation of their successful black family that is intelligent, hardworking, loving & ambitious; isn’t based on stereotypes or caricatures; AND doesn’t rely on comedic scripts or melodramatic storylines for the show’s content. They are the real deal - living, breathing human beings at home, at work, and in life. Their Emmy nomination is richly deserved and they are in a much stronger bargaining position now. They aren’t sitting around, whining & complaining as if being on TV is an entitlement and getting cancelled after 4 seasons is the end of the world. Star Trek was cancelled after only 3 and William Shatner has been laughing all the way to the bank since 1969! Mike and Egypt have handled this with grace and are committed to their businesses, their family, & each other. They do great work and remain dedicated to uplifting folx in the process. They’re gonna be just fine. They dodged a bullet given the network’s new trajectory and its choice to ignore the wishes, support & the loyalty of the fans. HGTV has made a lot of money from Egypt’s star power over the last couple of decades. It’s been a nice stepping stone for Egypt & a great opportunity to introduce Mike to the fans. Now we see and support them as a team. Well done!

I think the new network people who took over these shows are dumb as rocks.
I do not watch HGTV any longer. There are companies that have their own ideas,
this was plain stupidity.
